Farming Youtubers

Will be interesting to see are youtubers are at businesses stands for the likes of Tullamore and the Ploughing, you'd imagine they would pull a big crowd in.

Ya I get a lot of enjoyment out of Phils videos too. I was watching one recently where he was doing mowing and was only going servicing the mower before he headed off. I was thinking to myself why in the name of god didn’t he have that serviced last backend, before thinking again to myself that there’s more than enough times where I’d pull out something just before using it too! Even though Phil is farming a big scale he’s still more relatable than say Tom pemberton. And like you said I’ve no interest what so ever in the American farm channels. The only British one id really watch is the sheep game. He’s a top notch lad too. Phil, I farm and the sheep game are my big 3

I gave a little wry smile last week when Phil introduced the new Trimble auto steer. He made sure to emphasize that he didn't buy it. I was waiting for him to mention the feedback he's read on here!

Mr CVX had a good video where he went out to Europe to buy tractors. Passed the Steyr factory and gave some history. I enjoy his videos in general.

@farmerphil135, really enjoyed your last few videos with the Samaz butterfly mower... You weren't long knocking that 30 acre field in todays video! Some job!

Hats off to Phil for the video on the calf rearing, this year. It's tough mentally dealing with times like that in farming. It will make you a better stock person and a better person overall with relisence. Few years ago I had an outbreak of crypto and rotavirus at the same time in Suckler calves, loosing nearly 30% of of the calves in less than a week. This was despite the best efforts of drips and vets. At the time it was rough, but once a bit of sunshine hits, you start planning. Simple things can make a big difference. I moved the calving to April and outdoors and vaccines the cows for rotavirus, became anual about cleaning the calving pens and disinfecting

Phil, maybe a simple thing might be to get the farmers that you have built up a realtionship with to give the RSV and Ibr vaccine about 4-5 days before you collect them (obviously this can be factored into the price) and even look to only take calves over 17days. Remember they need farmers like you to take these FRXs. It works both ways

Phil needs to reduce the shed stocking rate

get a 60 teat mobile feeder and take 2 batches of 50 out of the shed in March as soon as weather settles down

he has the land for it, just needs to get some form of shelter for them. Calves will turn inside out being reared outside imv and will be nicely transitioned onto grass

you need serious sheds to hold 120 calves in one batch, disease runs through them rampant

we pushed 20 extra calves onto our feeder this year, 65 compared to 45 and had a lot more sickness in that shed than we had previously

Cheers. Planning on using more licensed music now in the bigger videos now that theres a reliable website to use

On a different note. Anyone else see Cole the cornstar put a sock in the exhaust of the big case when it was loaded up to go for a show to stop the air flow turning the turbo? I can’t get my head around how the turbo spins because of air travel into the exhaust while being transported? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it on another American channel to

Not sure but think when tractor isn't running there is no oil getting to turbo??

The shed is killing ye. It's not for calf rearing. But if ye can't put up a new one then I guess it will be just doing the best with what ye have. It's tough going when you have a lot of sick calves.

For some reason tiktok won't link on here.

But anyway.. JCB telehandler ..@farmerphil135 .. Good man yourself. 😅

👍👍

just watched the farmer Phil video with the kubota. It sure looked like a super machine. There’s the usual big 3 of tractors, jd, Massey and nh. Kubota must be vying for top 5 at this stage. They’ve come on no end from the early 00’s.

on the baling, for anyone that does it, why does the alarms sound so much when the bale is ready to drop out? It’s seems a bit excessive. Must be very annoying?

ah Right. Well you definitely would be aware of it anyhow! Must do your head in, it’s a piercing sound
